Stream podcast via airplay not working

I have tow of the Play:1 as indoor speakers and a Connect:Amp for outdoors with speakers hardwired to this. 

 

I am trying to get podcasts to play on the Sonos using airplay.

I go to podcasts (not on Sonos app) and try to airplay, the Sonos systems are not showing up.  I am on the same network so it is not a network issue.

 

If I look for podcasts on the Sonos app I do not see the podcasts from my iPhone (most recent model, fully up to date) listed.

 

After doing some reading I think I might have to factory reset all speakers to get them to be recognized.  But before I did this I wanted to see if anyone has other suggestions. 

I am open to other suggestions on how to play podcasts from an iPhone, my wife wants the easiest way possible.

The Roam will only do S2. Is your system S1 or S2 - most Connect:amps are S1 only.

The PLAY:1 is not AirPlay 2 capable. The electronics for that were introduced with the Sonos One. You could potentially group your PLAY:1s with another AirPlay 2 capable Sonos speaker, something I do fairly often.

Oops, missed the CONNECT:AMP, also designed and created long before AirPlay 2 was implemented by Apple. 
 

I think your least expensive option is a Sonos Roam, which can be an AirPlay 2 target, and be grouped with the rest of your Sonos devices.
